    🤣 Indeed, @Torgeirtrap...although, like you and @Fire_and_Ice_Returns correctly pointed out, it's likely to be Man City or PSG for Messi....especially Man City for their passing game.

    You'd think City would be a good fit if he leaves. If he's on good terms with Pep, even more so.

    After announcing Ben Chilwell today, Chelsea is also set to confirm Thigo Silva tomorrow after his medical.

    Honestly, Chelsea are bent on winning the premier league and other trophies next season.

    @Torgeirtrap They're still due to sign Kai Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen for about £90 million!

    The team they look to be putting together looks frighteningly strong!

    Indeed. And they're getting quite the player too, that's for sure.

    Some of these videos are hilarious! :))

    I imagine United have a few signings that are yet to be finalised. Would be strange if they don't have.

    That's a lot of money for Kai. How good is he ? I haven't seen any of his games played ?
    They should have bought sancho as well ?

    Abramovich can afford him.

    That's quite a few players testing positive/suspected of having the coronavirus in a short period of time.

    Or creating mannerisms that aren't there to begin with, haha! I think he got Arteta mixed up with Giroud!

    I'm curious how Arteta will use David Luiz this season. Like every Arsenal player, he too improved towards the end of the season.

    He played well, scoring a penalty in the shootout as well. According to Arteta he had only been back in training one day.

    I expected Liverpool to dominate the game completely, having had a much longer pre-season, but they didn't impress much. Hardly noticed Salah, Mané and Firmino.

    I am wondering how much of a drop Liverpool will have after last season, there form after the restart was worrying to a degree with regards to FPL.

    It's difficult to use pre-season games as an indicator, but I am bit worried (FPL wise) for Salah and Mané. I don't think I can take the chance going without one of them though. The ownership will be high, and we're still two weeks away from season to start.

    Finally some positivity! We know Arsenal too well to get carried away by this though, but it certainly doesn't hurt for the club, Arteta and the players to see some results from their efforts.

    Exactly, It's the carried away thing that Arsenal should try to avoid this season.

    Indeed. I think it's important to have realistic expectations for the upcoming season. I hope they can finish inside the top four, but I wouldn't put money on it.

    Yeah, the best is what one can hope for though.
